COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 5. rAnt, DIGBY IN TUE MATTER OF THE DUCLIES6 DOWAGER OF NORFOLK• Mr. Autiuctiomfm: applied to the Court by pe tition from" Lord Digby, proying to have it re ferred to the Master, wlicther the bind-tix should or should not be redeemed o: the luna tic's estate. LORD CHANCELLOR.—The prayer SeeMS to me very reasonable ; I do not see how it can be re fused.---Granted. IN THE MATTER (F IVEES, A LUNATIC. Mr. OWEN, in rising to address the Court, said, be was instructed to pray his Loidship not to con firm the Report of the Master, relative to the sale of the estate of the untortunate Gentleman who was the subject of the present suit. Mr. Su AD WELL COMCOded for the propriety of coutirniing the Report, asserting, that the pro perty wtiodd not be liable, in the event of a sale taking place, to the Auction Duty. The LORD CH ANCELLOR said, the present was a question of great importance, not from the in dividual interest of the parties, but from the bear ing it had on all cases of property which lunatics were entitled to. His Lordship would not, for the present, say, that property sold under the cir cornstances of the present case was liable to the Auction; Duty, for it should be remembered that he did not sit in that Court on Lunatic Petitions, as Lord Chancellor, but merely under the Com mission, as Lord Eldon. The Auctioneer had not, in the advertisements for the sale of the pro perty, stated who was to pay the Auction Duty ; all that appeared was a parole condition, by which lie would not be honnd. if such proceed ings were not allowed, touch of the valuable time of the Court might be saved ; and, tinder all the circumstances of the case, his Lordship felt he could not confirm the Report. DELAYS OF CHANCERY. His Lordship took occasion to remark, that the public, who complained so much of the delays in the judgments of that Court, would be surprised to learn that there were not fewer than 260 judg ments left_uncalled for. This was entirely - owing to the negligence of solicitors. He thought it was proper to mention the circumstance now, as l►e observed so many solicitors in Court. His Lordship also took an opportunity, when an application was made to him, to say, that ,he would act strictly upon the rule he had laid down betore the long vacation, and put off no cause for all person whatever. VICE CHANCELLOIL'S COURT, Nov.s. TEMPEST V. 0/ID. Mr. BELL presented two petitions from Messrs. Hoppers aud others, assignees for the bankrupt estate at Mow bray and Co. The fi►st prayed that an order of the Master, fixing the amount of the claims of Mowbray and Co. on the estate of Lady Vane Tempest, be eon- firmed. Mr. MARTIN, Counsel for the plaintiff, did not otject to the order, and it was accordingly con . Th e o th e r petition prayed that the various sums advanced by Mowbray anti Co. to a colliery belonging to the plaiutitf, and the amount of which had been agreed to by the Master, be paid by Mr. Losch, agent for the plaintiff, into the hands of the petitioners, as Assignees for the bankrupt estate. Mr. BELL stated, that the money advanced to the colliery had heen raised by bills &awn on Mutvbray and Co. in London, by the Sallie fit m in Durham. [le maintained, that if these bills were now taken up, Lady Vane Tempest would lose nothing by the measure, since her banker's ac count would_ he reduced exactly in proportion to the amount of the bills. Mr. MARTIN had no objection to the prayers of the petition, as far as it regarded the balance due. Ot the bill drawn on the London house of Mow bray and Co., plaintiff 'S agents had taken up se veral, to the amount of 1,502/. and he hoped dirt sum would he deducted. The VrCE-CHANCELLON wished to be informe on this point by the Solicitor for the plaintiff but tie was not present. It was, therefore, agiced that the rase should stand over till Monday. IN THE MATTER OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. Mr. FoNELANC presented a petition from the Rector and Church-wardens of the parish of St. Ann and Agnes within Aldt.rsgate, praying for the advice of the Court tinder the following circum stances :—Tine Lord Mayor, under the authority of the new Post-office Act, had purchased certain property for which the petitioners were trustees. The property was conveyed for 8,6941., which had been vested in the 5 per cent. Bank Annuities. The petitioners were at a loss bow tr) act with re gard to the application of the dividends, and beg ged the advice of the Court. ',file VICE-CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Fonblane if the Attoruey-General had receivedd - a copy of the affidavit ; and being told that he had got notice of the present application, but not a copy, his Honour said, that the application was not regu lar, and that the Court could not interfere. He recommended it to them to amend their petition, and lay it before the Attorney-General. 01,1) BAILEY, Nov. 5. ACQUITTAL OF A PRISONER IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE NON-ATTENDANCE OF A BANK CLERK. James Ward was indicted for stealing a 401. note, the property of A. Hiscock. It will be recollected, that a few days agoThos. 'Morris was convicted of stealing this very note from the present prosecutor, who is coachman to a Mr. Gunter. By the evidence on that trial, it appcared that the brother of the prisoner Morris (James Morris) had been sent to get the note changed at a draper's shop in the Strand ; that the shopwan had been sent to the bank with the note, and that he, instead of bringing it back, absconded with it. The prisoner Ward, now at the bar, is that very shoputan who ran off. Phoebe Simmons, the wife of Mr. Sim mons, a draper in the Strand, and James Morris, were this day again examined, and repeated their former statements. Smit hers, the .officer who apprehended Ward, said, that the prisoner had informed him that he had lost and spent all the 401. in travellbag, and had only a portmanteau, a silk handkerchief, and two snuff boxes left. The officer then stated, that the Bank clerk, William noole, who had attended on the former trial, now refused to be present, or to produce the bituk-note, unless he received a guinea -or sub-_ prrna. The prosecutor had been unable to give the guinea,and the consequence was the absence of the principal witness. The RECORDRR--Have you served him with a subpcena. Stnithers.—l did not think it necessary. The Recoßnett.---You should have told me of the circumstance before the trial, or have served him with a stibprAtia. I would have seen about the guinea when I got him here. Smit het s repeated, that be did not imagine it had been necessary, as he had attended on the last trial. He told me atter the last trial that he would not attend without a subpatna or a guluea. The ItrcoRDER then told the Jury to aqui the prisoner on account of the absence of this ma terial witness. The Jury returned a verdict—Not Guilty. Rachel Mitchel was convicted of stealing a quan tity of wearing apparel, the property of Elizabeth Wilde. • By the evidence it appeared, that the prisoner committed the theft in .order to obtain liquor ; hot in her defence she said that her husband was a great drunkard ; and that she and her children had been left live days at a time without a morsel of bread to put in their mouths. A Juryman observed, that a few months ago the prisoner's husband threw her, dead drunk, out of a one-pair of stairs window. The hus band was a sober man, and had frequently work ed for him. The I.4:cORDER.—How long shall we confine her, gentlemen, to make her sober ? A Juryman.-1 think she may be sober in a month. 'The RecounEa.—Then we will give her two months to bring her completely to her senses. ANOTHER AWFUL VISITATION.—On Wednes day evening last, about eight o'clock, a Gentle man of very respectable appearance was observed in Great Prescott-street, Goodman's-fields, lean ing against some railings, and groaning very much. Two young men proceeded to his assist ance, when he dropped down and instantly ex pired. He was taken to the Golden Lion pub lic-house, and a surgeon sent for, but he was quite dead. The deceased is about six feet in height, and apparently between thirty and forty years of age. He is not unlike a Military Officer, and on being stripped, the marks of several wounds were observable on his person. The body was taken to the Whitechapel workhouse. SUICIDE—On Tuesday, Mr.• John Lewis, of Albion-street, Rotherhithe, builder, terminated his existence, by suspending himself to a beans in an unfinished house, upon the building of which he had for a considerable time past been employed. !le was discovered by his father on Wednesday. A depression of spirits, arising from a losing con tract for building,•is assigned as the cause of the fatal act. PROVINCIAL NEWS. ENGLAND. TnR LATE PRINCESS CHARLOTTE.--011 the verge of Esher-common, Surrey, in the garden of a small house, is a memorial to the lamented Princess CnAat.orrit ; it is an Urn upon a pe destal, with this inscription, " Erected to the Memory of the Beloved Princess CHARLOTTE." Upon the pedestal around the Urn are placed pots of flowers. This simple testimony of respect, from an obscure individual, is perhaps more honourable to that beloved Princess than the . most costly monuments. Lord DvNetroa presided, last week, at the fleeting held at Carmarthen, for the purpose or establishing a Society for the preservation of the remains of Ancient Welch Literature, Poetical, Historical, Antiquarian, Sacred and Moral, and for the encouragement of National Music. The Meeting afterwards adjourned to the Palace at Abergwilty, where letters from Lord Kenyon, Lord Cawdor, the Bishops of St. Asaph, Bangor, and Landail, Sir W. W. ‘Vynn, Sir Thomas Mostyn, Sir Robert Vaughan, Sir Edward Price, Sir Charles Morgan, and Archdeacon JoneS, were read, giving assurances of their co-operating with and forwarding the views of the Society. Mrs. Fry, before her departure from Liverpool, organized a Committee of Ladies for carrying into execution her most wise and benevolent plans for improving the condition, habits, and morals of the criminals and other prisoners confined in pub- lic gaols. On Tuesday last, the landlord and landlady of the King's Arms public-house, at Deal, were ap prehended by Adkins, anti two other Officers from Bow-street, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder of one ot the crew ot the Severn man of war, on the 24th instant. They have been conveyed to London.—(Canterbury Paper.) A MOST DARING BURGLARY.--A few nights ago, a party of ten or twelve men, all well mounted, and armed with swords and pistols, wearing hairy caps and crapes over their faces, committed a most daring burglary in the dwelling-house of Air. John Chapman, of Hollyfield Hall, in the parish of Waltham Holy Cross, in the county of Essex. About two o'clock in the morning, as two of the labouring men were proceeding ro the stable, in order to yoke the horses to go to mar ket, they were surprised by the gang, who, after tying them together in the stable, threatened to take their lives it they ma:le the least alarm, and ordered them to provide theta with a crow bar, in order to - force open the street door ; no crow bar being on the premises, they procured a plough coulter, with which they forced open the door, leaving one of the party as sentinel over the two After gaining an entrance, they tied down .►e maid servant, who they found had got up ; and whilst some of the party, with presented pis tols, stood over Air. Chapman and family, the rest proceeded to rob the honse, and succeeded in carrying off 741. in hank-notes, four watches, and several other articles, and escaped with the booty. men. IRELAND. DUBLIN. Nov. 2.—The Commission eras this opened at Green-street, before the Iligkt Hon. day Lord Nortsuav and the Hon. Baron GRoRGr., ant the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of the City 01 Dublin : Lord NORBURY charged the Juries.—He sah that though the Calendar was an unusually fol. one, he was happy to say that there was no cases of special enortnit y that called for observation from him. The general state of the country was such as every well-disposed and industrious man most rejoice at—pertectly.tranquil, and amenable to law and order. For this happy and enviable state we are indebted to the influence of a diligent and meritorious dis s emination of moral informa tion amongst all classes ; the unbending, vigilant, and impartial spirit of the Magistracy, and the ac tive and unwearied exertions of an admirably constituted Police, which `not only protected the inhabitants of this great and interesting metropo lis, but extended their meritorious aid to the pre servation of the peace and happiness of the adjoin ing counties. He had to lament that the cases of forgery which would conic before the Jury, were numerous ; this crime was cart led to a great ex tent, not only in this but the sister country. Ireland was fond of imitating England, not only in its fashion and virtues, but in its vices also ; and whatever of either made its appearance in the latter country, was sure to find its way hither in a packet or two. He was proud to say, how ever, that conspiracies and combinations which were carried on to so alarming an extent as to threaten the extinction of commerce in that country, whose commerce covered the east ocean with her busy sails, were but very partially imi tated in Ireland. He had to congratulate the Gentlemen of the Grand Juries on the increasing success of the labours of the Mendicity Society ; the public began seriously to appreciate their va lue, and he entertained the most sanguine hopes, that the crowd of miserable beings who were wont to infest our city, and largely add to its vices, would, by their laudable interference, be brought into habits of industry, cleanliness, and morality. This improving slate of things, under all the discouraging circumstances in which we are placed, reflects the severest reproach on those great and rich ones, of our country, who have ab dicated their rights, their homes, and tittle - duties amongst us, at—i deserted their enviable rank and situations, to - • for happiness amongst stran gers; - b - Vt he woult.. -, euttire to foretel, that num bers of them would, very shortly, be in a hurry to get back, it not detained to their mortification. Here. the Noble and Learned Lord made some ob servations on the duties of the Juries, and con cluded with complimenting them on their well proved intelligence, zeal, and diligence, in their discharge. TRINITY COLLEGE.—It has been mentioned that an appeal had been made to the Visitors by a Sizer, who was expelled for some alleged im propriety of conduct. His right of appeal was ob jected to by the Provost, on the ground of his not belonging to the Corporation of the College, with whom alone, it was contended, rested the right of appealing from the decrees of the Board. Mr. Plunkett, the Member for the University, and Mr. O'Sullivan,setter which they conceived to bear upon the 1 111 , 8 s iite brought forward secerio s— clispute. The Vice-Chancellor (Chief " 1 " - firig Downes), deferred giving his decision an t „ o na day. At twelve o'clock the Chief Jastic',./ Dr. Ratcliffe held the adjourned Visitatl.°/'.OO, The Vice-Chancellor stated it was his °P I : of, founded on the common law and the sta t t s s or the University, that no persons but Me m for the Corporation could appeal to the Nris'!'lipe the redress of any grievances they maY they laboured under. 1-lis Lordship eater e- e a long statement, which, from the l ow " ' P n! , voice it was delivered in, could not he r if a4 and concluded by saying, that the arr ii 'd to dismissed.
